Cinnabun Cookies

Whey protein can help suppress appetite. A recent study, published in the British Journal of Nutrition, found a fantastic effect when people consume whey protein before meals. In this study, the participants drank a 400 calorie beverage 90 minutes before eating a test meal. They split the test subjects into 4 groups to see how many calories they consume after their test beverage:

Group 1 = placebo – 987 Calories
Group 2 = 12.5% protein beverage – 841 Calories
Group 3 = 25% protein beverage – 808 Calories
Group 4 = 50% protein beverage – 681 Calories

This is just one of the many benefits to adding whey protein to your snacks and desserts...it helps with portion control!


Mmmmmmm, these taste like a crispy cinnamon roll from Cinnabon! I made a batch and brought them to my group of women in a weight loss series of classes that I am teaching for the month of October. We meet every Monday night and it is a blast. The healthy treats, once in awhile, make losing weight easy.
